Some intelligent demons possess abilities such as shapeshifting, shrinking, and immense strength, but these abilities can be broken by piercing their bones with iron nails.

Jin Wanliang, lying on the stone slab, was like a lamb to the slaughter. His body was fixed at half a person's height, unable to expand or contract, and his strength was far from sufficient to cause any damage.

As for Jin Wanliang, he could only honestly cultivate by breathing in and out his energy, seeking to use the demon core to break free from the restraints.

But Jin Wanliang knew very well that this was the breeders' purpose.

Once their cultivation reaches the required standard, allowing them to forcefully unleash their demon cores, the guards who have been lying in wait somewhere might just emerge.

The next step is to seize the core and kill the demons, not to gain freedom and leave as the demons imagined.

It's normal that his cultivation hasn't improved much in the past ten years. After all, the probability of dying after improving is too high, so Jin Wanliang didn't dare to work hard to improve his cultivation.

"Godfather..."

Don't call me godfather, I don't have a son like you!

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and touched the iron chain; as he circulated his Law Power, golden sand continuously fell from his hand.

His relationship with Jin Wanliang was generally not serious, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind saving him once.

The sand-transforming technique continued to operate, and the tightly locked iron chains were constantly thinning in his hands.

Once an opening had been created, Zhang Xuezhou pulled out the long nails that were locked into Jin Wanliang's leg bones.

Bright red blood gushed out, and Zhang Xuezhou used a Supreme Purity True Technique to ensure that Jin Wanliang landed safely.

He waved his hand, signaling Jin Wanliang to stop shouting nonsense, as it could easily cause trouble if someone saw him.

"No wonder I was sent away after only three months in the Xieluosi River Holy Land!"

Putting himself in Jin Chan Fa Wang's shoes, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Golden Toad Dharma King had been extremely polite back then. At least Zhang Xuezhou couldn't have brought his adopted son, Jin Wanliang, to live in Chang'an City.

After thinking it over, he quickly sent Jin Wanliang away.

"I have nowhere to go, please take me in, godfather!"

Unable to return to the Xieluosi River Holy Land, and with his own base destroyed, Jin Wanliang, though the world is vast, has no idea where to go.

He was also afraid that if he stumbled upon something reckless, he might encounter some blind demon who would slash him down and steal his demon core.

After grabbing Zhang Xuezhou's leg, Jin Wanliang couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Given our relationship, it's no problem for me to take you in," Zhang Xuezhou explained earnestly. "But the owner of my house in the backyard has a Demon-Revealing Mirror. If you're not afraid of death, come with me!"

"Demon-Revealing Mirror? Wouldn't that mean I'd start smoking the moment I looked into it?"

Jin Wanliang was stunned, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

As the most famous Yao Treasure, even the most slow-to-learn shapeshifting demons know about the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou's polite refusal didn't seem like nonsense, Jin Wanliang didn't dare to press the matter. After all, he preferred to believe it was true rather than not.

But if Jin Wanliang were to find a good place to go, he really wouldn't have any good options.

Jin Wanliang pondered for a long time, almost wanting to fasten the iron chain to his leg bone again, but the wound on his body from the iron chain had been healed by Zhang Xuezhou. He poked his leg bone several times, but he just couldn't bring himself to do such a cruel thing.

"Godfather..."

"Don't count on me. Chang'an City, where I live, isn't suitable for you, and I have no way to guide you anywhere!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered the matter, feeling that he had rescued Jin Wanliang, but had not completely rescued the other party.

Unlike the people of Zhang Household Village, who could be settled Chang'an City and survive on daily food supplies, Jin Wanliang, a man-eating monster, could not be placed in a densely populated area. Otherwise, Zhang Xuezhou's rescue of Jin Wanliang harm others.

Some cultivators in the Demon Extermination Division possess the ability to detect and smell Yao Qi Yao Qi. While they are not quite capable of dealing with powerful demons who can conceal their Yao Qi, they have no problem finding lesser demons like Jin Wanliang.

I will be meeting with... soon.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to mention that he would meet Hongku in a little over ten days, and that if Jin Wanliang had a plan to return to the Xieluosi River Holy Land, he could ask Hongku for help to return to the Northern Kuru Continent.

He pondered a more secure place to settle down and felt that only such a place was suitable for Jin Wanliang. As for whether Jin Wanliang could survive, that was not Zhang Xuezhou's problem.

But before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xuezhou heard a sound coming from afar.

This allowed him to float away and quickly disappear from the cave.

"Godfather?"

Jin Wanliang, who was in the cave, was stunned. He peeked out but didn't see Zhang Xuezhou. Instead, he saw soldiers in armor riding towards them in the distance.

This prompted Jin Wanliang to quickly jump back onto the stone slab, clamp the chain between his thighs, and then lie down with a distressed expression.

"According to Lord Wei's records, this place should house a toad demon. This demon calls himself Master Jin, and he's practically asking for death. Toad demons are mostly skilled at jumping, hiding, stabbing arrows with their tongues, and using poison. This one is rather useless. Lord Wei said that when the officials from the Demon Extermination Bureau captured it, they didn't see it use any poison..."

The distant sound drew closer, Jin Wanliang looked up at the sky.

Jin Wanliang never imagined that his evaluation would be so poor.

Of course, Jin Wanliang had to admit that those damned soldiers were right.

Besides his physical advantages, having inherited the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Stele, he does indeed possess the demonic art of spitting out poisonous mist, making him a master of poisoning like the Golden Toad Dharma King.

However, whether due to insufficient cultivation or the loss of his Toad Skin, the poisonous mist spewed out by Jin Wanliang had little power.

"The toad demon's Toad Skin can detoxify and relieve pain. The imperial court's pain-relieving powder and detoxifying pills use Toad Skin as an ingredient. There's also toad venom, which is a treasure of the toad demon. Heart-saving pills, heart-protecting pills, and heart-revitalizing pills all require toad venom. This toad demon has had its Toad Skin extracted once and its venom extracted three times, making it extremely valuable. It's the longest-living demon in Shanglin Garden in recent years."

The familiar voice drew closer, Jin Wanliang saw two young generals dressed in black armor and helmets approaching the cave entrance.

"Where's the meat? Where's the old man's meat? I want to eat meat!"

Jin Wanliang was rescued by Zhang Xuezhou but had nowhere to go. He thought he would have a good meal before finding a way out, but he noticed that the two young generals in black armor had no flesh on them.

This greatly disappointed Jin Wanliang, who couldn't help but grab the chains and shout and make a scene.

"It can still talk!"

"The monsters are intelligent and quick to learn to talk, just like the myna birds!"

"I agree with the point about learning to speak, but I don't agree with the concept of humanity. Demons have lived in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent for thousands of years; they can learn to speak human language but not humanity. Even after a hundred years of training, they are still like animals that eat raw meat and drink blood. Only demons that have been trained for two or three hundred years have a few traces of humanity!"

Voices of agreement and disagreement filled the cave, and with the crack of the whip, Jin Wanliang obediently shut his mouth, which had been begging for meat.

"I ask you, these past few days the world has been filled with all sorts of mysteries, have you sensed anything unusual or strange?"

After being beaten, Jin Wanliang had kept quiet, was also questioned.

Jin Wanliang stared at the person who asked the question, his eyes slightly red. He rubbed the tongue spike in his mouth back and forth, wondering if he could kill the two men in a short sneak attack and get something to eat.

Before the evil thoughts in his heart could take any real action, he felt a pain in his chest, and the Demon Power he had gathered immediately dissipated. His head spun around, and countless stars seemed to spin in his mind.

"Even a lowly demon dares to harbor such disgusting thoughts; indeed, those Non-Self kind are bound to harbor malevolent intentions!"

When the young general's muffled voice reached Jin Wanliang, he felt a chill run down his groin, and a bone-chilling sensation quickly welled up in his heart.

"Godfather, save me!"

Amidst intense pain and dizziness, Jin Wanliang's body was bent over like a boiled shrimp, unable to even spit out the tongue-piercing arrow.

He cried out, hoping that Zhang Xuezhou could save him.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou saves him this time, Jin Wanliang will definitely not cause any trouble and will go as far away from this cave as possible.

However, the heroic rescue of the toad that Jin Wanliang had imagined did not occur, and the young general withdrew his longsword that had been thrust into his groin.

"Consider yourself lucky, I'll spare your life for now!"

His voice turned cold, but he continued to ask questions.

"You pierced my genitals, what's the difference between that and killing me? Master Jin knows about the special and the strange, but he won't tell you about the special and the strange..."

Jin Wanliang's dizziness subsided, and he looked at his bleeding genitals. The stinging pain from the wound drove him mad.

Jin Wanliang could live without a genital organ, but he couldn't accept not having one.

If his Demon Power hadn't been devastated by the heavy blow, Jin Wanliang would have been nauseous and fought desperately.

"Godfather!"

Thinking of Zhang Xuezhou's previous treatment for his leg injury, Jin Wanliang couldn't help but shout.

With a quick bend of his long legs, he leaped out of the cave, using the power of his muscles.
